Line 6 is introducing a new USB audio interface called the TonePort, which I also had the chance to see at the Reason 3.0 demo at GC. It’s more than just an audio interface because it features mic and instrument inputs which can be directed through some amplifier and microphone simulator plugins that emulate some of the classics.

After the Reason demo, Hayden grabbed a guitar (afterall it was “Guitar Center”) and plugged it in to give us a demo of the amp and distortion effect simulators. For the price ($129) including the software this is a killer deal. It’s worth it for audio interface alone!
